    Mark the post top, then down the threads and mark the wiper arm one continuous marking to replace the arm easily. I would not recommend using a hammer against the windshield, it may work. But it may not. Metal and glass

    I really appreciate this video. I consider myself pretty handy and I had my wiper motor go out, I changed the motor and linkage. I can see everything working before I put the wipers on but as soon as I put the wipers on, the wipers don't move. The motor is working and the linkage is trying to move but the wipers jump but they don't move. Any advice? I can't believe wipers are getting the best of me.

    BTW, that's a nut, not a bolt you removed. Also the groves on the shaft are called splines, not rivet thingys.

  • @CrewExpendable2007
    @CrewExpendable2007 9 місяців тому

    So after doing this I bought brand new wiper arms, that dont have the spline pattern already tapped into the hole where they slide on. The stalks of the wiper transmission of course do. Is it same procedure or am I then going to strip the stalks on the transmission? Not sure how to attach them…

    For those cracking their windshields, throw some cardboard and a rolled up rag anywhere you might hit the glass. There is no reason you should be breaking windshields with this method?
